Eric Finally Says Goodbye to Wisdom Teeth

My poor lovey Eric had to have his wisdom teeth taken out today; something he probably should have done a decade or two ago! He is resting now, because of the groggy effects of his painkiller. As sorry as I feel for him now, I am sooo glad he finally got this over with. He tells me now that the abscesses he occasionally got could have been fatal infections. Even without knowing this, I was hoping he would just get this over with sooner rather than later. He was originally going to be under full anesthesia so he needed me there to take him home and keep watch over him, but since I would have to miss class to do this, he was going to change the appointment to December or January. I insisted he just do it now, and good thing ‘cause he had already developed another infection.

Fortunately, insurance wouldn’t cover the anesthesia so he had to settle for just the Novocaine. At first he was really upset about this and almost decided not to go through with it at all, but he changed his mind after reading several accounts of death and various other non-fatal but unpleasant side effects. He also decided it would be an insult to his manliness to be acting all loopy after the surgery :p I accompanied him anyway as I had already made arrangements to miss class and, loopy or not, this is still a stressful/painful event and I had to be there to give him a hug right a way!
